I only bought one and it's been fine for 2 years, though I am glad I didn't buy more of them as there is no firmware updates it seems

Need a side by side comparison to tell the difference. I was hoping someone already did the leg work or planning to

This is cheaper version of Hikvision one which I have been using for about 3 years. I would like to get another one but not sure if I should try Dahua or stick with Hikvision version. Did anyone compare? Better tracking, night image?

Anyone has the new camera? Does it have good tracking and night image? Old one isn't great

DS-2DE4A425IWG-E is a new one but specs are identical. They are listing it with smart tracking while old one doesn't list it. Is there any chance it might have improved sensor?

Glad I read this. I am still running on last version of 5.6 and likely not updating ever now. It's been my favorite cam even with AT working half the time and night image isn't the best

Can you share night video from this camera? I have DS-2DE4A425IW-DE with 4MP 1/2.5 and night image is not great but it's twice the price of this one

This is the injector I got https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VMCN87B

This is finally resolved. I was on the verge exchanging it until the seller recommended to go with 60watt hi Poe injector. I bought a random one to try out and no longer seeing this issue. This is very misleading as in the spec it says camera consumes 11watt (20w with IR) while none of 30watt...

Injector is plugged in into a switch where all other camera are plugged in. Already tried different cables.

Update. Got the 30w injector as recommended above. Plugged in and issue occurred almost immediately as before. I performed reset and reconfigured as before. Also disconnected from Hikvision NVR entirely for a good measure. None of that helped. As mentioned before issue occurs regardless of time...

It doesn't look like camera uses that much power though anyway but I will try 30watt injector and reset it for a good measure and report.

Interesting, I assumed that 4 port Poe+ 65 watt switch with nothing plugged in will have enough power. Ordered this to try out. Thanks!

I have tried several cable variants and brand new Poe switch with just this camera plugged in. Didn't make a difference. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076HZFY3F The fact that it happens with or without IRs on doesn't seem like power is an issue. I haven't tried factory reset so might do that as...

I bought this camera recently and loving it especially auto tracking but it has one problem which I cannot seem to figure out why it's happening. Camera occasionally restarts when auto tracking event is happening. I thought it could be power related but I already tried the following: 1. 3...

Unfortunately neither schedule or privacy mark will work. Schedule is random and camera follows any car tripped by wire on the street so if that car goes into driveway then it would also follow. It's a bummer I can't limit horizontal pan

This is what I see in PTZ limit and none of the buttons do really anything. Couldn't find much online about this.

It has up and down setting/live buttons. No left right though

One other dumb question. Is there a way to limit travel of ptz during auto tracking? Camera likes to wonder to neighbor door when he arrives home and I don't want to spook him that I am watching. I see the is "ptz limit" but not sure how to use it

Waterproof connector been covered by self amalgamating tape for a year aside from that I didn't have a box or anything else. I will try redoing connection and put it inside box thanks for suggestion.

Cable is solid copper and heavy duty for ground use, actually I don't like it as it's not flexible. It's probably 4 years old cat 6e and 70 ft long. Previous Ptz didn't have an issue though

Well can't be Poe+ switch, it's brand new, so that leaves wire which I wanted to replace anyway some point.

I noticed I have one issue. Can't figure out if it's a software bug or power issue. In some cases when camera completes tracking subject it restarts and comes back online in couple of minutes. I have put it on a new 65w Poe+ switch that doesn't even have any other devices plugged in so I am not...

I mainly use everything default for image quality and it works great. There is overwhelming number of configurations but at least AT was easy to get working. I would say it works 95% of the time perfectly. I am now tempted to get second one but not sure where to place it. Due to large size it...

Got the 4mp cam with larger sensor then 2mp. Initial impressions it's huuuuuge but also awesome. Much better night image, so much so that IRs are not needed with some street light. I see some lens softness in corners at certain focal lengths but it's not bad. The important thing is auto...

I do wish for Hik PTZ with AT but current price is a bit difficult to swallow.

Isn't that Hik $2k?

Yeah I didn't have long but it was enough to determine that I want a better night image for my coverage. I tried color and B&W neither was satisfactory for me. It's not a bad camera just didn't work for my night imaging needs.

Why are you selling it? Seems like no better options to go with AT and large sensor

I had high hopes for this but didn't work for me. Auto tracking was actually decent but night image wasn't that good for 2MP. I think I will have to swallow the cost and go with 4MP with bigger sensor.
